Get ready for the latest Club TWiT AI User Group! Leo Laporte, Larry Gold (LrAu), Darren Oakey, Thomas Burnham (aramova), and Anthony Nielsen dive deep into practical tips, big geek energy, and real-world AI experiments. Watch as they build custom personal assistants with OpenClaw, manage newsfeeds with automated summarizers, and wrangle massive transcript libraries in NotebookLM. Plus, hear how open-source OCR rescued decades of local politics PDFs, ChatGPT beats the S&P 500 (sometimes), and why local models can save you from surprise cloud bills. Whether you’re a hardware hacker, a news addict, or just wondering how AI can organize your Home Assistant gadgets, you’ll find lively debate, hands-on demos, and plenty of shop talk from some of the nerdiest tech fans around!
